      Any advice would be super welcome. Thanks.

      it's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the base geometry.. copy that 5 into it's own file then attach the .skp to your post.. you'll get an exact answer that way instead of a bunch of guesses.

        We need the SKP... but my guess is it is too small !
        Scale x 10 [or x100] and retry, scale back down on success... 😕

          I tried on a simple box with the 150mm offset and 50 sides and it worked fine. I'm guessing there was something strange with your geometry such as an internal face maybe.

            i think they aren't sharp corners prior to using roundCorner and he's using too big of a radius for the softened corners.. so there's guess #3 😉

              Subtle. I couldn't see those lines on my Mac but now that I'm home from work I can see them.

                that's opposite of the norm for people using both systems.

                (re: the topic- it's hard to tell if those are just some sort of layout lines down below or if they're also on the object which has been roundCorner_ed.. hence the request for the file)

                  I use my MacBook Pro at work more than at home. I mostly use my PC at home but both have SU Pro so I can go back and forth between them.

                    Thanks for the quick responses!
                    I had it scaled up largely. I figured it must have been that the radiuses were too large for the size, however it didnt appear to be. The typography needs to be exactly as is. Ive attached the file to see if anyone can have another crack at it. Thanks again.

                      Hi.
                      If you need this in a hurry, I suggest the following:
                      Select the flat face of the 5, copy to the side. Harden the edges. Delete the flat face, leaving the outline of the 5. Create your 150mm arc with 4 segments, or some other number. Make a quarter round face/profile. Set it in position. Select the profile as a path. Use the FollowMe tool.
                      In spite of all the vagaries of the figure, I got a clean result.

                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                          Actually, it is possible to take your result with the corner wings, make a selection only of the intersecting faces, right click intersect selection, erase the concealing faces, draw lines where intersection didn't complete, then erase the wings. This is more tedious, obviously, and you will need to do it for each of those sharp corners. Also, when I performed the rounding, the offset preview showed overlapping of the offset at the corners. The offset that got a clean preview profile was a mere 30mm. Not really what you wanted.
                          Also, when I downloaded your skp I noticed that the bottom of the figure was a closed face. You need to delete the face or you get rounding of the bottom and the wings.

                          None of my business, but what are those diamonds and trapezoids about on the underside of the 5?

                            Dear Fredo,

                            I have followed your instructions to place the plugin into Sketchup plugin folder. (mac version sketchup2013)

                            However, in the window i do find the libFredo6 setting but no tool bar or anything else to be found in my sketch up.

                            Please help

                            Michelle

                                If you have installed correctly the plugin in User/Library/Applications Support/Sketchup 2013/Sketchup/ Plugins, go to View Menu/Toolbars/..... and mark the Round Corner to see its toolbar.

                                  Also ensure that it is enabled [checked] under Preferences > Extensions...
                                  Otherwise its Toolbar isn't available...

                                      Are you saying that if you put your mouse on the words "Tool Palettes" you don't get round corner in the list that pops up? or haven't you found that list of toolbars yet.

                                          according to your second picture, you haven't installed it correctly.. you're missing libFredo files.

                                          you can get that here:
                                          http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17947

                                          (download the .rbz version underneath the word DOWNLOAD in the first post)

                                          to install it, go Sketchup (menu)-> Preferences-> Extensions..
                                          click the 'Install Extensions' button at the bottom then navigate to the libFredo .rbz file... it will be placed in the proper location for you..

                                            Great tool but I am wondering if I can undo the rounded corners if I want to revisit a design and make some changes like pushing and pulling a face?

                                            Cheers,
